The film industry is in a big slump right now. Things will not get better this weekend. There are no major openings in theaters but, if you want to check out an iconic sci-fi classic, find a theater showing Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." It's been digitally remastered in 4K ultra high definition as the film celebrates its 40th anniversary.

40 years! Can you believe it. "Close Encounters" was first released in November 1977. Now we can see it through today's technology.
